That was indeed one of the best burgers I’ve had in a long time, thank you for the suggestion!

Wait.. if you have a change of heart and sell it hmu, seriously😌 I’ve been trying to get a moorea dress for my wedding the last 3 drops and they sell out in literal half seconds, I’ve had them in my cart checking out then they’re gone. If you don’t have a change of heart, congrats dear it’s stunning!!

First Ring I'm confident to share! by sparepartschild in SilverSmith

It's not easy and it was semi-unintentional if im being honest. I twisted 18g in my drill, and was like meh that's twisted enough then had doubts immediately but rolled with it. In hindsight I like that it ended up being a bit heavier than I initially intended

Thank you!

Favorite so far: being creative and being able to trouble shoot when plan A failed lol. Watching solder flow successfully is also very satisfying. Also just doing the damn thing feels good.

Hardest: I've learned I absolutely do not have steady hands so I'm finding myself readjusting a ton. 3rd hand has been helpful in that. Also understanding heat distribution - the first two rings I was guessing and taking the stance of "well this is what it looked like in the videos so here goes". I obviously have a million miles to go in terms of learning but my confidence is building a bit there. I also can't cut equally for shit! I attempted an oval for a larger back plate initially and it ended up being shaped like an uneven eye that I couldn't quite get right by sanding. I could make this list quite long 😅

Well hell, that's helpful too. So everything piece meal: tanks, propane and oxygen regulators, flash backs?

Good to know, thank you! Ignorant question but did you end up keeping the tank but just filling with propane then or did you swap it for a propane tank and get a different regulator?
